Erik H. Erikson and Intimacy vs. Isolation (Psychosocial Stages of Development)

Intimacy vs. Isolation is the stage of the young adult (ages 20 to mid-30â€™s), according to Eriksonâ€™s â€œEight Ages of Man.â€ During this stage, we are eager to fuse our identities (solidified in the previous stageâ€”Identity vs. Role Confusion) with others. On the other hand, those unsure of their identities may avoid this fusion.

If everything goes well, he or she will reach â€œtrue intimacy.â€ If something hinders this progress (e.g., incest), that person may isolate him- or herself from closeness with others. The difference between â€œintimacyâ€ and â€œintimaciesâ€ is also explored.
